What music would you like at NRG stadium?

After attending the preseason games, it sounds as though the Texans have decreased the number of completely wussy songs that they play. This is good.

A team can’t completely control wins and losses, but there is no excuse for playing “Jessie’s Girl” at a professional football game. Ever. (You might argue with me on this point, but you would be wrong and lame).

A few years ago, they thankfully got rid of “Rock and Roll, Part 2.” Also a good thing. Anything from Jock Jams Vol 1 is a joke, and you shouldn’t be giving royalties to a convicted sex offender.

Most of the music they play now is very generic stadium music. On repeat. An exception to this was the fan-inspired “Bulls on Parade” song. A fan suggested it. Former Texan Connor Barwin made it happen. An entire stadium enjoyed hearing it on the great sound system, despite most folks not being familiar with it. Unique. Not played out.

With Barwin and Wade Phillips gone, “Bulls on Parade” is (or should be) retired. But the idea of that song should remain. I think the Texans should vary the music more and find songs that jam but haven’t been completely beaten into the ground, though molten hot lava, far into the Earth’s inner core.

Songs that are so good, that even toddlers would know they crush.

I like AC/DC as much as the next person. But using two songs that have been used in every single stadium ever is just boring and lacks any sense of creativity. Corporate.

I know for a fact that the Texans listen to fan feedback on things. I could list many times there have been changes at the stadium based on the suggestions of fans. You can either complain at your tailgates. Or you can try to do something about it.

If the music was as good as Texans tailgating, the roof would be blown of NRG.

This fansourced project may not do anything, but maybe you find out about some interesting music through it. Make some suggestions. Has to be a total jam. Not played out. Can’t be vulgar. Can be just an excerpt of a totally killer song. Could be played in an NFL locker room without derision.
